What is your suggestion?:when getting a task from slayer master allow option to choose "boss slayer" instead of skipping through bunch of random tasks

Is this in OSRS?:no

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:no

How would this benefit Alora?:this used to be in alora, not sure when it changed, maybe when eternal donor came out? Should still allow non eternals to select boss and get a random boss task that they can skip through instead of just all tasks mixed in

I half agree, I think this should be like an Uber perk or something.

No support from me. The fact that we can skip for free is already a huge bonus. If there were to be a compromise, I feel unlocking it via slayer points would make much more sense than just giving it for free.

"It used to be in the game" isn't a valid excuse. Probably a reason why it was removed lol.

 

I'm talking about the ability to just skip specifically boss tasks as per your suggestion. That is an added feature and imo needs to be purchased in order to gain the benefit. Otherwise just get eternal and pick your own tasks easy.

FULL SUPPORT its so aids spending a half hour sitting here skipping tasks for the specific boss task i want (yeah you can say the typical "why dont you just get eternal" but lets be for real lots of people arent going to have that nor are they going to get it)   Im all for unlocking say a secondary thing to allow us to skip through only boss tasks for like 1k pts

Ah well hopefully they will change their mind this time. I checked the updates and this was removed with the slayer rework not eternal donor release. Even as a eternal donor its a little bit wild to me people say "just get eternal donor" and im sure ive said it before too as a meme :kekw: Wouldn't mind giving it as a donor rank to something lower but since it used to be available to everyone I think it should (if re-added) be available to all, even if having to unlock.

Support please save me time from doing boring shit.

[Linkki]

very good suggestion i agree with everything you said.

[Radagon]

Support I like scorn's idea too

[ChikkinHaze]

I support this. Making sure I write a few words this time to not get reported for “spamming”

No support, people used to get giant streaks from just doing 3 boss Kc tasks over and over and farm slayer points. It was a good thing it was removed, if you want to get a specific task just skip until you get it in my opinion.

this isnt how slayer used to work, you got slayer points for killing things not from task streaks. However, yes i can see that being a issue now that its like this... maybe if they select random boss tasks they get a random amount and dont get to choose kc amount.

 

-- this got removed w/ slayer rework which was when the streaks were added and pts at end of tasks rather than killing stuff

No, streaks were very much a thing in the old slayer design.
Here is some details of how it used to work, you could easily get 200+ points for a 3kc boss task that takes a minute or two.
This is how slayer worked from 2017 to 2020:

Base points:
Normal task:
CB 1-50: 1 point
CB 51-99: 2 points
CB 100-199: 3 points
CB 200+: 4 points
Special tasks:
Wilderness bosses: 5 points
Extreme tasks: 5 points
TzTok-Jad: 8 points
TzKal-Zuk: 12 points
Wilderness tasks:
Double any of the above points (eg. Wildy bosses give 10 instead of 5)
After you have determined the base points, the extra points for your streak are calculated as follows:
extraPoints = basePoints * streak
If your streak is >30, the calculation will max it out at 30.
For example, if you defeat TzTok-Jad at a streak of 30 tasks, you will receive (8 * 30) = 240 bonus Slayer points.

Ah, its been a while thanks for the clarification. anyways I do agree with you that this could allow people to boos slay pts too quickly so now if implemented would be okay for random amounts of kc to be given rather than allowing to choose kc... and you can still choose kc if you select random tasks that include all tasks

[Dozer]

I support this, I'm not sure why we should have to waste our time skipping.
